"With
a distinctive visual style that steers clear of the gross
plagiarism of many post-Tarantino
thirtysomething directors, Anderson sets himself apart from most
of his contemporaries. His work is as refreshing and visually
inspiring as any Coen brothers' film
and restores faith in the idea that Hollywood can still produce
an idiosyncratic black comedy once in a while." -
Peter Homden (Contemporary North American Film Directors, 2002) |

"Few
directors' films deserve the term "character-driven" more than
Anderson's. His films are also casting-, music-, mood- and even
production design-driven (he works with more or less the same
key production personnel every time), but whatever powers their
engines, action and plot are but trace elements in the fuel." -

"King
of literary geek chic on the silver screen, Wes Anderson emerged
from the U.S. movie underground an almost ready-made savant.
Remarkably quickly, his quirky, off-kilter films neatly
established Anderson almost as a genre unto himself." -
Joshua Klein (501 Movie Directors: A Comprehensive Guide to the Greatest
Filmmakers, 2007) |

"The idea is to make this self-contained world that is the right
place for the characters to live in, a place where you can
accept their behaviour." -
